The Lord - Our Helper
1I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where will my help come from?
2My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
3He will not let your feet go out from under you. He who watches over you will not sleep.
4Listen, He Who watches over Israel will not close his eyes or sleep.
5The Lord watches over you. The Lord is your safe cover at your right hand.
6The sun will not hurt you during the day and the moon will not hurt you during the night.
7The Lord will keep you from all that is sinful. He will watch over your soul.
8The Lord will watch over your coming and going, now and forever.

amen to that. God truly showed me today the power of prayer. nobody knows what i'm going through right now..the anger, the frustration, the pain, the tears...but God understands. and i know, God's watching over me right now, he's watching over my family. life was never supposed to be perfect, but when we have faith in our one and only God, He'll bless you with something more, something greater, a true meaning to life ...because wasn't life meant to be worth more than this? God is our helper and only through His name, He will heal our sins and our unfaithfulness. only through prayer and worship, we can truly see the beauty and count the blessings that God has provided. i'm so thankful for a family who exemplified the power of God's love throughout my entire life. through God's love, it's my turn to show my endless love for my parents because i love them so much. it hurts so much when you love someone, but they don't understand how much you love them because you just don't show it. that person's me. that's how i've been living all along. hiding my love, buried deep down in my heart. but i can't live like that anymore. i need to express my love - God's love through my actions... because i learned that they've shown me so much, they trusted me in everything i did, they had faith in me, they never gave up on me....this is the kind of love that every child would yearn for...that's the kind of love God blessed me with through my family. but now, i know i can change. i have to. a cabinet full of prescription bottles won't heal my mom; neither can money heal ; HOWEVER, only through the blood of Christ Jesus can we wash away those sins through the unification of our prayers. by fully devoting one's life to the creator's hands...and having faith...because i BELIEVE God can perform amazing miracles. He's THAT amazing. we just got to believe in ourselves..and believe in Him. even though it's so tough right now for my family, so friggin hard to cope with life and all the hardships that it's packaged with... we're gonna stay strong; we're gonna be a family that never loses hope; we're gonna have big dreams; and we're gonna stand up and praise our almighty God who blessed us with so much. we just need to take a breath and open our eyes, and see that there is something much greater awaiting for us.
